Chapter 179 No matter what happens, go to the third palace
Day after day, the spring rain continued to fall day and night. The flood disaster became more and more serious as time went on, and the people complained and groaned.
As for the flood control plan, it had not been discussed yet. Emperor Xuanhui was furious and reprimanded all the officials. He suspended court for three days until a flood control plan was figured out.
(Fengsheng Palace)
After Yun Jingman took the pill that Gu Yue gave her, her legs gradually regained feeling. With the help of the medicine she prescribed herself, she was able to get out of bed and walk a few steps.
Chu'er supported Yun Jingman and practiced walking, step by step, like a child learning to walk, slowly crawling forward. Although it was difficult to walk, even in the cool spring season, Yun Jingman's forehead was covered with sweat, but Yun Jingman enjoyed it.
Because this is the first step to leaving, she must stick to it.
"Empress, take a rest. You've walked for a long time today." Chu'er persuaded. Seeing Yun Jingman biting her lips and trying hard to learn to walk, she felt that she was tired.
"Let's walk a little longer. It's rare that I feel so good today." Yun Jingman said gritting her teeth. The more she wanted to leave here, the harder she tried.
Practice step by step, practicing for the days that are about to pass.
"Sister Concubine."
Yun Jingman, who was practicing walking with his head down, and Chu'er, who was concentrating on accompanying Yun Jingman, did not notice that there were two more people in the palace, Leng Ruoning and Zui Lu.
"Empress?" Yun Jingman wanted to bow, but Leng Ruoning came over and supported her on the other side, smiling faintly, "It's my fault for coming in without permission. I guess you scared my sister."
"It's my fault." Yun Jingman lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice. Leng Ruoning, she still had good intentions towards her.
"Come, sit here." Leng Ruoning didn't care much and personally helped Yun Jingman walk over to sit down at the tea table.
She knew that although she was called the queen, Yun Jingman was the one Baili Haoxuan loved the most. In terms of nobility, she could not compare...
The two sat opposite each other, Chu Er brewed some hot tea and served them to each other. Leng Ruoning took the steamy hot tea, took a sip, and savored it carefully.
Yun Jingman knew that she came for something, but she didn't speak until she opened her mouth, and she wouldn't speak first. She lowered her eyes and teased the teacup.
Leng Ruoning calmed down, organized her words in her mind, and drank tea to hide her nervousness.
Leng Ruoning gently put down the teacup and told the palace servants to leave. In the entire bedroom, only she and Yun Jingman were left sitting opposite each other.
"Actually, I came here today because I want to ask my sister Qingfei for advice." Leng Ruoning said a little nervously.
"Empress, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't call me little sister. Just say it directly." Yun Jingman was quite relaxed and generous.
"In fact, I was also entrusted by someone. You are in the deep palace, and you may not know what is happening outside. You also know that the rain has been falling non-stop these days. The farmland has been submerged, and the flood disaster is serious." Leng Ruoning paused, glanced at Yun Jingman inquiringly, and saw that Yun Jingman was unmoved and did not express his opinion. Her heart suddenly turned cold.
Leng Ruoning's hands were stirring the tea under the tea table. She was afraid that she couldn't do the thing Yan Zinuo asked her to do. Then Baili Haoxuan...
"Your Majesty, you are not here to teach me about government affairs, right?" Yun Jingman saw Leng Ruoning was speechless for a moment, then spoke softly.
"Actually, that..." Leng Ruoning was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any better words to continue.
"The flood disaster is serious, so we have to clear the water. This is probably not something we can think of." Yun Jingman picked up the tea in front of him elegantly and casually and started drinking it. The hot tea warmed his body and the fragrance of the tea filled his lips and teeth.
"However, the flood affected the entire Xuanhuang, and the manpower and resources required to clear and guide the flood are really unimaginable."
Yun Jingman's mind quickly turned over. So this was the reason why he hadn't seen Baili Haoxuan for so many days. No wonder, in this backward era, natural disasters were indeed enough to destroy the foundation of an empire.
Especially for an imperial dynasty based on agriculture, the people are the foundation of the country, and food is the foundation of the people.
